Make your own Teepee - A creative project you can do at home or at school

Who wouldn't want a Teepee in their garden? I can't think of anyone. 

A tent of many uses. Obviously somewhere for the kids to play {Millie aged 3 moved her kitchen in 10 minutes after she had applied the first paint to the canvas.} 

I sit in there in the quiet of the afternoon and write or read in it's soothing calm, the shape of which, like a spire, inspires me.

My wife takes refuge there when yet another episode of "The Big Bang Theory", funny though it is, is replayed for the 18th time and I do the same when another recorded, contorted plotline is unfolding on "Coronation Street."

Making one is also a creative and interesting way to spend family time, then family and friends' time, in the long hot summers that we all hope for.
